Llorean:
I don't know. Tell me exactly what you did. It looks like you didn't do a complete install.

h.finn:
Well I followed the Installation Instruction step by step:
-Enable use as disk
-There are three separate components, two of which need to be installed in order to
run Rockbox:
          The Rockbox bootloader.
          The Rockbox firrmware.
-To automatically install Rockbox, download the official installer and housekeeping tool
Rockbox Utility.
-When first starting Rockbox Utility run \Autodetect"
-1. Download your chosen version of Rockbox from the links in the previous section.
-2. Connect your player to the computer via USB or Firewire as described in the
manual that came with your player.
-3. Take the .zip le that you downloaded and use the \Extract all" command of
your unzip program to extract the les onto your player.         
-The entire contents of the .zip le should be extracted directly to the root of b
your player's drive.
-If the contents of the .zip le are extracted correctly, you will have a directory called
.rockbox, which contains all the les needed by Rockbox, in the main directory of your
player's drive...............................

I only have a file called rbutilqt-v1.2.5

Llorean:
Please, type in your own words what you did. Do not copy and paste. Explain everything.

The fact of the matter is, something has gone wrong. I need to know exactly what you did - what did you click on and which options did you choose?

h.finn:
I'm sorry about cut/paste!
It's just because that' exctly what I did:
I downloaded the Utility and did Autodetect
It found my 1st gen Mini
Hey..........
I forgot to download the actual Current Build!!!!!
Thanks for telling me to type in my own words!!!!
I had to recheck step by step and.....IT WORKS!!!!
Many, many thanks for your help.

Could you just possibly tell me how to switch between Rockbox and iTunes?
I must be really dumb....can't do it, apparently!

That will be in section 3.1.3 of the MANUAL http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-ipodmini1g/rockbox-buildch3.html#x5-250003

Seriously - you should put on some good tunes and sit down and have a read of the manual, Rockbox has a very good and comprehensive manual, you will miss out on lots of things if you don't take a read through it.
